How should I check if a user is authenticated in MVC5?

Question

I have seen the following two accessible booleans:

• System.Web.Mvc.Controller.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
• System.Web.Mvc.Controller.Re

Based On Darin Dimitrov's Answer, You can shorten the code and use in place:

if( User?.Identity != null && User.Identity.IsAuthenticated )
{ 
//Code Goes Here!
}
